WWE business was pretty damn low in 1995, so much so that WWE felt the need to load house shows with something extra whenever they could. With domestic business down, WWE presented a series of Intercontinental Title ladder matches in the spring and summer months.

While Jarrett usually escaped with the belt around his waist, he succumbed to frequent ladder match foe Razor Ramon on May 19th at the Montreal Forum in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The two headlined a card that attracted around 8,500 people, a healthy number considering the state the business was in at the time. Canada (specifically Montreal) was one of their strongest markets at the time, so Vince felt he needed to do something special that night.

Ramon, naturally, dropped the strap back to J-E-Double F two nights later in Trois Rivieres, Quebec, in a standard match.

WWE didn't shy away from the title change and referenced it multiple times on television in the weeks that followed as a way to put over how 'anything can happen at a WWF live event'.
